OTB Solar and Trident Partner to Bring Inkjet Printing Technology to Solar Applications

By Design World Staff | December 30, 2009

Eindhoven, NL – OTB Solar and Trident Solar announce a partnership for bringing innovative, cost-saving inkjet technologies to the solar market. As part of this collaboration, Trident’s proprietary 256Jet-S™ inkjet printhead will be integrated into OTB Solar’s PixDro™ open architecture inkjet platforms – including the LP50™ research and development tool and the Elements™ pilot or full production system.

Trident’s proprietary 256Jet-S™ inkjet printhead has been integrated into OTB Solar’s PixDro™ open architecture inkjet platforms allowing the enhanced LP50 and Elements systems to provide the most cost-effective and precise deposition of jettable materials available for solar applications.

The innovative Trident inkjet printhead combined with OTB Solar´s specialty software allows the enhanced LP50 and Elements systems to provide the most cost-effective and precise deposition of jettable materials available for solar applications.

Trident’s inkjet printhead features stainless steel construction and a unique repairable design – that allows the nozzle plate to be disassembled, ultrasonically cleaned and reassembled. The inertness of the 256Jet-S printhead enables jetting of the more aggressive solar processing fluids such as phosphorous dopants and alkaline etchant. These features allow the 256Jet-S printhead to last up to 8 times longer than alternative inkjet printheads.

The unique open architecture of OTB Solar´s product line allows for more cost-effective development and production of solar cell technologies. The open architecture provides customers with enhanced flexibility in the production of solar cell technologies with different manufacturing requirements and allows for a variety of printhead and laser applications to be integrated.

OTB Solar currently offers two inkjet printing solutions for the solar market. The LP50 is an advanced research and development tool used for trials in the development of inkjet materials, processes and applications. The Element is flexible inkjet printing system that allows for easy scaling from application development on a LP50 into a pilot scale or full production. The tool can handle product sizes of 5, 6 and 8 inches and has a throughput of up to 1500 wafers/hr.
